Adjustment Run

As an example scenario for this article, an employee was short paid during their last weeks payrun. Physical payment has been made, so now we have to correct this via an adjustment run. We have manually calculated the extra pay and Tax the employee should have received and will now process an adjustment run to correct this.

Note: As a general rule of thumb, if the employee has not been physically paid, you can roll back the standard pay run and rerun it. However if physical payment has been made to the employee then an adjustment run should be performed.

This article is also applicable for over payments and I have updated the article to mention this.

In the scenario where an employee has been over paid and physically paid. You can run the adjustment on their next pay run to ensure they are paid the correct amount. Note: You would need to manually calculate how much they were over paid and have this reduce from their standard pay.
